Thorndyke broke the kiss as he rested his forehead on Gwen's, their loud breaths intermingled as they stayed like that for a while.
Gwen's heart started to race.
They kissed.
She kissed him.
It was her first kiss.
Her first kiss.
She looked up at him, her breathing erratic and her heart still pounding in her chest. The realization that it was her first kiss was still sinking in, causing a wave of sensations and emotions to wash over her.
Thorndyke's chuckle pulled her back from her thoughts, and she saw the unabashed happiness in his eyes. The laugh wasn't amused or mocking, but rather a blissful melody tuned with joy and admiration.
It was a sight she had never seen before, and it caught her off guard.
"What... what is so funny?" she managed to say between heavy breaths.
He shook his head, the smile not leaving his face.
